Iran said an Israeli air strike in Damascus on Monday killed a senior commander of its Revolutionary Guard, Seyyed Razi Mousavi.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said Israel will pay a price for the action, according to state-run Press TV, which said Mousavi was serving as a military adviser in Syria.
